PEELED now to say that girls are noisy
creatures"
Just here the girls gave her another
volley and when they had no more
wind she said Thanks awfully,
then assuming the attitude of a con
gressmen, continued:
THAT which surprises me most or
this occasion is the harmony of spirit
which you are exercising, and l an

you are willing to let bygones be by
cones. Am l not right ?"
"Yes :" exclaimed the entire body.
"Well, then, the bygones are three
in number the society to ostracize
young men, the hair pulling time We
had over it, and the conflicting spirit
which arose therefrom."
At this point she noticed that some
of the girls looked rather queer, and
she asked:
"May include with this number,
the blending in of our members with
the society for the aid of heathens ?"
Yes you may ]" shouted the en-
tire assembly.
"We shall therefore consider all
these as things of the past. Several of
the members have spoken this even

the discord among many of you, after
their closing words, [ am led to believe
they missed the mark. That which
they aimed at was about all that was

never do, for more than one reason.
Wouldn't it be better after all to be
on good terms with the young men,
than to live the life that we have been
leading during the past eight months?
/ think so. When we organized our
society, We did it hastily; instead of
giving it forethought, We listened to
the prattle-for it was nothing else
of three Boston girls, and the result
of it is anything but pleasing.
Every one of us are real
SOCIETY GIRLS,
even if We are church members, and
now look how absurd it is, We, as
church folks, shutting out from our
view the young men simply because
they indulge in young mems fancies.
Does it not show a selfish disposition
Surely it is not christian-like. In
order to show them the terror of their
way" we should be among them. And
then again, we are not real christians,
because We know that a barrel couldn't
begin to hold all our faults. Suppose
the young mems club wsuld take
action upon our many fancies, what
would be the result? Why, they
wouldn't have anything to do with us.
It's true that one flash of Minnie's
black eyes would catch bankers son,
but if he had good sense, and knew
just how tight she laced, she would
stand a poor show"
This was too much for Minnie, she
had to speak, but her remarks were
lost in the great outburst of laughter,
which followed.

she is not in favor Of reformation by
ostracization, and well she might not
be, for there are many little acts that
she performs, which, if sized up would
learn her a lesson. Julia also should
have good talking to, but
I'll spare you both on this occasion.
"Of our number, at least one half are

Here was another pause, and much
laughter, what the girls exclaimed
was not heard.
